No one living can really know what the vikings saw . The history within our living memory of the arctic has changed , an example would be the concealing and then revealing of the airplanes lost during the second world war . These arlarmists are always running their mouths without engaging their brains . The vikings lived on Greenland for a couple of hundred years and for a time prospered . Yes , they wouldn’t recognize the Greenland of today . Now it is a frozen wasteland .

I double checked your claim against proxy reconstructions circa AD 1000. Of the global reconstructions I checked; Moberg, Ljungqvist, Loehle and Mann, it appears all the researches are in agreement with you, except Mann. ;-)

It’s the SA Express News. The budget has been cut so much that it can’t afford to do the research and just pulls from other papers around the country. No one is paying much attention to the content of the rag here, particularly these preachy global warming articles. It’s reached a tipping point and its viability as a daily rag is plummeting.
